- Without a federal “comprehensive legal framework,” women seeking abortion procedures are at risk of legal persecution, Stanford Internet Observatory Research Scholar Riana Pfefferkorn said in an interview with Stanford News. Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Pfefferkorn said legislators “are playing catch-up” to regulate how individuals’ data can be collected, stored and used by private companies. She said law enforcement will be able to issue warrants to technology companies for data or they can buy it from a data broker, in lieu of obtaining a warrant.
- The reversal of Roe v. Wade underscored “the urgent and pressing need for comprehensive federal privacy legislation,” Brookings Institution Center for Technology Innovation Research Analyst Samantha Lai and Research Intern Brooke Tanner write. They said Congress "needs to find consensus around federal privacy legislation to address other surveillance and data collection concerns” that could harm historically marginalized groups and now women seeking reproductive health care.
